Heat things up with the Dragon icon

Riot·Aug 24, 2015·4 votes·34,946 views

On Summoner’s Rift, Dragon is more than a simple game objective. He’s a flame-spouting, squishy-smashing badass ready to incinerate anyone who foolishly ventures into his lair. Many an overconfident champion has received a free ticket back to the fountain from some well-placed Dragon fire – and many more will follow.

Luckily, the new Dragon icon doesn’t require any dramatic sword-swinging, spell-slinging, or thrilling heroics. Pick it up at the League store for 250 RP, and let everyone who views your profile know who’s the real final boss of Summoner’s Rift (hint: it’s the player with the terrifying dragon on their profile [additional hint: you]).

"Doesn't require any sword-swinging, just buy it!" ...I think it'd prefer sword-swinging or thrilling heroics.

Wait, Vilemaw is male? Now I have to reevaluate my life.

º LB ºAug 26, 20151 votes

omg lol i didnt know vilemaw was female fml xD

Colorful DreamAug 26, 20154 votes

Huh. A little bit of research tells me that Vilemaw is the "god" of Elise's spider cult, and though I could not find definitively one way or the other, it's always referred to with male pronouns. So you were right, but I just guessed all this time that Vilemaw was a female since I compared it to Shelob from LOTR.

PhoenixOfHeavenAug 25, 20155 votes

i want a Vilemsaw icon, like now.... Also, wouldn't Shyvana be more fitting for the Dragon? They are a couple after all(This is how rumors are spread)

MinikyuAug 25, 20154 votes

There is a vilemaw icon :D It was a reward for last year's harrowing event.

I wish more of these icons were purchasable with IP, I have more than I know what to do with these days:D

ParcevalAug 25, 20151 votes

I've been asking for the ability to 'buy' a new level 30 smurf account, or something similar, with IP. Because it's stupid to just have it buildup like this...

ĘbbAndƒloweyAug 26, 20153 votes

And uh... That's called smurfing which... Riot specifically said is against Summoner's Code. Plus, to get a "new level 30" acc for free is bad policy. Cause you know those with all the IP in the world would use their IP that they have nothing to do with to buy friends a level 30 acc. Where they got no experience of playing the game from those levels. So you get newbies in low elo running into towers and feeding. Making Bronze the impossible challenge.

? You just have to do it intelligently. Link it to the previous accounts just like a new character under your single wow account. And if the MMR system is intelligent then it would quickly figure out your skill level and move you to the appropriate tier. There's a reason why most pros have multiple 'smurfs'. The mental reset that comes from a new perspective is immensely valuable.

Is this a subtle hint that we need a ghost dragon icon?

Colorful DreamAug 25, 201510 votes

Subtlety doesn't seem to be Mordekaiser's strength. Or yours, apparently.

Vis ThighsAug 26, 201516 votes

Riot should have the champion icons we use for posts here as regular icons. The could be prizes for reaching level 5 champion masteries. One you hit level 5 with Thresh, you get this: Thresh . Plus, when they update splash arts, they could leave people with the old icons, but still give them the new one too. That way, you can say "I played Poppy before she was reworked." Not that Poppy will ever get a rework...

"Luckily, you can buy this instead of actually earning it" My face when i read this: XinZhao

Ao Shin teasers?!

Wind WhistlerAug 25, 20156 votes

Meddler DID say we should "expect to be surprised" for the next champion released. I'm hoping it's Ao Shin, but it probably won't be. Then again I'm also thinking: Maybe that's why it's a surprise, because I won't expect it? Either way you look at it, it's over five years this game has existed, and it's high time people can play as a dragon.

AxacoatlAug 25, 20152 votes

There was also some talk a while back that I heard after five new champions last year to now ao shin may arrive or be worked on with teasers

Nareik YukiboshiAug 26, 20154 votes

1 Shyvana 2 I'm sorry but the next champion is just a shaco clone...that's why it's a surprise...

You got a new summoner icon.

Twitch I got a new icon. Wonder what it is.(Clicks on new icon.)

Twitch Oh cool it's a dragon icon.(Get's smashed bye a morning star)

Mordekaiser Give me back my dragon!(Smashes twitch repeatedly)

Twitch How-did you- get- in my- hou-se.

Mordekaiser Veiger- left- the door- unlocked.

Volibear Freeze this is the police! Put your arms were I can see them!

Twitch Oh thank god this guy came in my house and attacked me.

Volibear Alright (puts handcuffs on criminal) your coming with me!

Twitch Wait what! But this is my house.

Volibear Shut up dirt bag! I don't take kindly to pet snatchers.

Mordekaiser Thank you officer. Now let's go Larry we got noobs to burn.

In the end Mordekaiser and Larry were reunited, Volibear received a medal of valor, and Twich served 5 years in prison.

Epilogue:

Veigar All right Twitch pizza's done- what the? (See's smashed Twitches Smashed up room) Did I leave the door unlocked again.

WrstPlyrNAPlzRptAug 25, 20158 votes

The real final boss of summoner's rift. Hint, it's actually Veigar

NaleagueaccountAug 25, 20154 votes

Maybe you can make these be purchasable with IP, you could make them to cost a lot of IP ( 5k or 6k). That way we will have our IP sink hole. I am writing this because i have all the champs i want, all the runes i need and 85k IP on my account.
